------------------------------
Summary: Kafka channel should supports disable producer/consumer
according to the need
Key: FLUME-3323
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-3323
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Kafka Channel
Affects Versions: 1.9.0
Reporter: zhipcui
As the doc said:
{noformat}
The Kafka channel can be used for multiple scenarios:
1. With Flume source and sink - it provides a reliable and highly available
channel for events
2. With Flume source and interceptor but no sink - it allows writing Flume
events into a Kafka topic, for use by other apps
3. With Flume sink, but no source - it is a low-latency, fault tolerant way to
send events from Kafka to Flume sinks such as HDFS, HBase or Solr{noformat}
Kafka channel will generates producer and consumer both now.
When using Kafka channel as scenario 2 (3), the producer(consumer) is just
useless, and if ours kafka cluster is enable SASL situation is getting worse.
Assume we have a kafka account which only has read permissions, and using kafka
channel without source, producer shouldn't generates.
I propose that add two properties to disable producer/consumer.

agent.channels.c.withSource = false
agent.channels.c.withSink= false{noformat}
